Newell Coach Lug Nut Cover Upgrade and Some Polishing! (Should Have Done This Sooner)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The creator moves back outside, now under the illumination of his truck's headlights due to the late hour. He uses a large breaker bar to loosen and remove three of the wheel nuts from the RV's front wheel. He then positions a modified mounting bracket over the exposed wheel studs and re-tightens the nuts using the breaker bar, ensuring the bracket is securely in place. He notes that the top nuts appear to 'squish down' into the wheel, which he finds a bit odd but proceeds. He also mentions the right-hand threads on this side and left-hand threads on the other side.

Goal: Securely attach the modified brackets to the RV's front wheel

test fit for sure 100 and then the nuts will come off i told you i would get some shop lights out here and i did elvis my truck is in the shop light so time lapse let's get these things on [Music] i'm about to put the bottom ones on here the top ones yeah you can see they're kind of squishing down into the shape of the outside of the wheel which is kind of odd it looks weird to me i don't know if this is right i'm going to double check i'm pretty sure it is but i'm not going to drive anywhere until i find out this is the correct way to do it but i'll show you how the bottom one goes on here so i already put the cap on and checked out where the holes were to make sure that they were in the right spot and i take off the right ones so i didn't make the same mistake that they did back there what they had is they had one here and then one was like off a hole so it didn't actually bolt up just like that big old nuts these ones are right hand thread but on the other uh front side their left hand thread which kind of threw me for a loop the first time i took the wheel off of this thing i know that now they have r and l right on the freaking stud the more you know so i'm gonna to before you're saying why do you do that just use an impact on it the socket i have for this is just happens to be one somebody gave me and it's like a freaking one-inch drive or something huge it's huge it only fits on this breaker bar which somebody also gave me a guy's name's casey freaking he's only doing my uh my airbag taking the one wheel off he's like oh we've got a bunch of those and there's a broken torque wrench but it works great as a breaker bar you can have it so this is what i got i need to go get an adapter before i can use that big socket on the actual torque wrench that i have that i bought for these wheels so i may do that tomorrow i'm going to extend this video into tomorrow just so you can see this stuff in the daylight as a finished product as opposed to rushing to get the video out and post it tomorrow morning i'd rather wait another day or half a day and post it with better uh better stuff so that's what we're gonna do now these are all in here i get to crank that soulja boy a million billion times to suck these all down with this big heavy freaking broken breaker bar so [Music] it'll be interesting to see if how torquing those had bowed these poles out in or out at all and when i was drilling them they kept catching and pulling on that way so i may have to finagle…
